West Palm Beach Housing Authority amends Equal Employment Policy to include gender identity and gender expression

January 27, 2012

At the request of the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council, the West Palm Beach Housing Authority has amended its Equal Employment Policy to include both gender identity and gender expression.

The new policy now reads: The Authority maintains a policy of non-discrimination with employees and applicants for employment. Open positions will be filled by the best qualified applicant without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, veteran status, marital status, sexual orientation, political belief, gender identity, gender expression or mental or physical disability (if such disability does not unreasonably interfere with the abilities of the employee to perform the work required).
